you re a potential juror, and that should worry the president because they re going to be hard to count, so we ll see. but my prediction is we are going to get an impeachment, and then if the polling numbers keep moving in the direction they are because everything the president has tried, remember, it was all a pr, as chris pointed out, it was all a pr effort. by the way, central to that pr effort was rudy colludy, rudy giuliani, who just tried to open the front against hunter biden in a case he was defending in romania, and it turns out that rudy colludy, the lawyer, was on the same case with hunter biden, on the same team. so, that guy s a clown, and that clown show is over. and now the president has run out of plan a. plan b is done. and now we ll see what he has left with plan c. all right, guys. i preer appreciate your candor, chris lu and rick tyler. thanks, alex. it was blockbuster testimony, according to democrats. and while republicans have downplayed it, my next
people would not respond to the census if that question were on there. just to put it into perspective. more people than in the state of new jersey. the 11th largest state. if you put them together, 12 seats in congress and 14 votes in the electoral college. those people go poof and it would mall apportion congress and change the allegation of over 9$900 billion annually all to the detriment of immigrant communities. if the effort to put this on the census was about under counting latino communities, are you worried that that will be achieved by the white house having made so much noise and the president having mounted the pr effort he has? with the president s anti-immigrant rhetoric and sentiment, has the damage been done? i hope not.
an incantation and we are going to put it back on the census even though it ruled it was illegal. they challenge that and they put a new question on the census. why was it so dangerous in your mind for the president to go ahead and do this? he mounted a pr effort trying to claim this was a benign question and wouldn t have a major impact and now saying it will be asked by other means, even if not on the census. we haven t had a question about citizenship on the census for 70 years. the reason is because survey professionals know that if you put that on there, it s going to cause people not to respond to the census. the latest estimate from the administration about three weeks ago was that about nine million
the latest estimate from the administration about three weeks ago that about 9 million people would not respond to the census if that question were on there. just to put it into perspective. more people than in the state of new jersey. the 11th largest state. if you put them together, 12 seats in congress and 14 votes in the electoral college. all those people would have just went poof, right? and i would have changed the distribution of votes in the electoral cleollege, i would ha changed the allocation of $900 billion federal funds annually, and it all would have been to the detriment of immigrant communities. if the effort to put this on the census was about under counting immigrant community is, latino communities in particular, are you worried that that effect, essentially, will be achieved by the white house having made so much noise about this, by the president having mounted the sort of pr effort he has raised here? i mean, if people now associate the census with the presiden
unpacking in the months and in some cases years before this. i reported in august 2016 while manafort was still on the campaign he had this relationship with konstantin kilimnik and konstantin kilimnik had come to the united states to meet with him. would you think that would raise questions among folks who were looking into ties between the trump campaign and russia and possible collusion. now we know for certain that the key person, mueller, who is tasked with really investigating this, it is of interest to him. ken, what you re reporting this week, what you re analyzing this week is so important in the context of the president s pr effort around the effort to the senate intel committee. i wonder if in sort of a short description you can underscore what you just said about reporting that on your part, on your newspaper s part, goes back to when these events actually hand in realtime. in 2016, you were aware of manafort meeting with this putin aligned operative, and these
